(a) The board may approve or reject a linked deposit loan
package. Upon approval by the board of the linked deposit loan
package, the board shall forward such approved application to the
state board of investments and the state board of investments shall
place certificates of deposit, within the limitations provided for
in section four of this article, with the eligible lending
institution at three percent below current market rates, as
determined and calculated by the state board of investments.

(b) The eligible lending institution shall enter into a
deposit agreement with the state board of investments, which shall
include requirements necessary to carry out the purposes of this
article. Such requirements shall reflect the market conditions
prevailing in the eligible lending institution's lending area. The
agreement may include a specification of the period of time in
which the eligible lending institution is to lend funds after the
placement of a linked deposit and shall include provisions for the
certificates of deposit to be placed for up to two-year maturities
that may be renewed for periods up to two years until such time as
the loan has been completely repaid, or ten and one-half years
after the eligible student's cessation of enrollment in the
approved institution of higher education to which the loan proceeds
were paid, whichever is sooner. Interest shall be paid at the
times determined by the state board of investments.
